Welcome to Country Ash Baskets!

Basketry is an ancient medium that began as a means to create functional objects used in everyday life and has evolved to become one of the most fascinating forms of artistic expression.

As a basket maker I have been inspired by the New England Shaker Communities and by traditional Taconic folk basket makers. These two groups derived much of their design and tradition from Native American Basketry.

Hand pounded brown/black ash (Fraxinus nigra) tree splint is the pure and simple material used to create three forms of baskets for functional use and display. All baskets are handmade with a traditional Shaker mold in Lexington, Mass.
Near museum quality, these baskets may last a life time.

Shaker baskets are a wonderful gift, display, or functional carrier. For an additional charge all baskets can be shipped as a gift basket with specialty items from Wilson's Farm in Lexington, Massachusetts.
